Target Summer Beauty Bag Unboxing: What's In

Before I say anything, this is not one of those beauty bags which you have to subscribe to by paying every month and then get worthless samples that you cannot even use (what a rip-off!). I'm not saying all of them are bad but there are quite a few which I find are not worth the money. The Target beauty bag however is a free bag (Yes you heard it right, its totally FREE, no conditions). At the beginning of every season, Target gives away these bags full of generously sized samples in a cute makeup bag to thousands of fans who send in a request. This year they posted a link to it on their Facebook page and they had more than 400, 000 of these bags to give away for free.

I was lucky enough to know about it on time and I ordered mine immediately. It takes about 6-8 weeks according to them but I got mine in 4 weeks.


I loved the pouch. It's a decent-sized makeup bag that you can fit in your handbag. And boy was I surprised to see all these samples. They are a lot for something that's free and good sizes too.


There are totally 5 samples with a coupon booklet that has lots of useful coupons on makeup, and beauty items sold at Target. If you ask me, Target, being a discount store, already sells makeup, and beauty products for a lot less than other discount stores, so we really do not need more discounts on that, but it's always a pleasure to get some.

Coming back to the summer beauty bag, these are the items it had:
- Aveeno Active Naturals Living Color Color Preserving Shampoo and Conditioner.
- Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock with SPF 70
- Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo
- Garnier Fructis Fortifying Shampoo and Conditioner Color Shield
- Revlon Color Burst Lip Butter Peach Parfait

I was a little disappointed to see such a small sample of the Revlon Lip Butter (although I'm glad its a shade that I've not used) but the rest of the samples are good for at least 2 to 3 uses. The best of the coupons from the booklet however was for Revlon cosmetics, $3 off, which is pretty decent. I'm also excited to try the Neutrogena sunscreen and the Tresemme shampoo.

All in all, I'm very pleased with it and I am glad I was able to get it.

15 Must Watch Chinese Youth Dramas That are Artistic Masterpieces

I stopped watching youth dramas (dramas usually set in high school/college backdrop) over a year ago since I felt like I was getting too old for these. I find most of them quite juvenile like I am watching the Disney channel. However, before I completely stopped, I tried watching more than 30 popular youth dramas and I had to drop most of them because they were just too mediocre, with bad writing, and bad acting/editing. But I also found some gems that were just too good and should not be missed by anyone, doesn't matter how old you are. These dramas have something more than just being a funny/silly high school/college drama. They have some kind of an x-factor to them that makes them quite unique in my opinion. Be it the story, the casting, the cinematography, the costumes, the locations/settings, etc. all together create a magical on-screen experience that I have not found in the other youth dramas that I have seen. Listed below are my top picks from the Chinese youth drama genre ...

10 Popular Perfumes/Mists With The Same Scent DNA As Baccarat Rouge 540

 Baccarat Rouge 540 was launched in 2016 by the famous perfumer Maison Francis Kurkdjian. Since then it has reached a whole new level of popularity when it comes to perfumes, especially on social media. But since it is a very expensive perfume there are a lot of people like me, who cannot justify spending so much on a perfume, and who are looking for something similar that costs less. On the other hand brands that grasp the popularity also come up with perfumes that are inspired by the OG. People refer to these as dupes or smell-a-likes. It's basically a win win situation for everyone. I am personally not crazy about the scent profile that BR540 belongs to but since it is so hyped I wanted to try it out for myself. So I went to the store several times and tested it on the paper strips, on my clothes, and on my skin. And after several tries I decided that it is not really for me. It's a little too spicy and woody for my tastes. And since it is so expensive it's also not some...

Top 12 Things to Buy from Kruidvat own Brand

 We've been seeing inflation here in the Netherlands since October last year. It's just plain ridiculous to see something that I paid 5 euros for a few months back is now around 7 euros or maybe more. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you buy about 50 things (food, groceries, toiletries, etc.) for your house, it all adds up and overall you are paying 50 to 100 euros more than what you were paying previously. But unfortunately, not a lot of us have seen this increase in our pay and many people have even lost jobs during and after the covid crisis. So it's only natural for us to want to save our money wherever we can. But that said we also do not want to compromise on quality. And that is where the idea for this post comes from. Kruidvat is a drugstore that is similar to CVS/Walgreens in the US. Products sold here are mostly hygiene products, cleaning supplies, makeup, and over-the-counter medicines. I have been shopping here for hygiene products for years. By now I ...
